I develop software for autonomous robots, with a focus on drones and ground vehicles. My work covers GNSS-denied navigation with visual-inertial odometry, real-time object detection and tracking on embedded platforms (NVIDIA Jetson, Radxa), and multi-sensor data fusion. I have hands-on experience in building, deploying and evaluating autonomous platforms, from hardware integration to ROS 2 software running on real robots.

Awards 5

  1. 2nd Place - UAV Competition, IEEE ICUAS 2026

    2026
    International Conference on Unmanned Aircraft Systems (ICUAS)

    Second place in the international UAV Competition held alongside the IEEE ICUAS conference, competing with university teams from around the world as a member of the AVADER AGH team.

  2. 4th Place - UAV Competition, IEEE ICUAS 2025

    2025
    International Conference on Unmanned Aircraft Systems (ICUAS)

    Fourth place in the international UAV Competition, which drew 26 teams. The task was an urban search mission with a swarm of three Crazyflie drones that had to locate visual markers while keeping line-of-sight communication with the base station. The five best teams advanced to the finals with real drones in Charlotte, USA.

  3. 1st Place - HKSKN Student Scientific Conference (2024, 2025, 2026)

    2024, 2025, 2026
    AGH University of Krakow

    First place in the Automatic Control, Robotics and Autonomous Systems section for three consecutive years.

  4. 2nd Place - Multi-Robot Systems Summer School 2024 Challenge

    2024
    Multi-Robot Systems Group, Czech Technical University in Prague (IEEE RAS Summer School on Multi-Robot Systems)

    Second place in the international competition held as part of the IEEE RAS Summer School on Multi-Robot Systems in Prague, with the final round carried out in outdoor experiments with real multi-UAV systems.

  5. 4th Place - UAV Competition, IEEE ICUAS 2024

    2024
    International Conference on Unmanned Aircraft Systems (ICUAS)

    Fourth place in the finals of the international UAV Competition, after placing 6th of 23 teams in the simulation phase. The task was autonomous fruit counting with a UAV equipped with an RGB camera and a depth sensor. The solution was published at the Automation 2025 conference.
